A rumour circulates that Nasser, a helicopter pilot, met his demise during a combat operation. Behrouz, Nasser’s friend who fled the scene when Nasser was wounded, is attempting to woo Fereshteh, Nasser’s wife, with the aim of marriage. However, Mansour, Nasser’s twelve-year-old son, vehemently opposes his mother’s marriage to Behrouz. Mansour steadfastly believes that his father is still alive and will one day return to seek revenge on Behrouz.
In a poignant moment, as Fereshteh and Behrouz exchange vows, Nasser, disabled but alive, reappears. He embarks on a new journey with his wife and child, working to convince Air Force officials to allow him to pilot a helicopter in an urban manoeuvre. With the assistance of Behrouz and another friend, Nasser faces the challenge of navigating a helicopter plagued by technical issues.
